    I used to use Liberon spirit based dark oak on NOS No4 woodwork, before the RLO process...

    It actually be turns beech and walnut a very pleasing colour, coupled with the oiling, absolutely beautiful....

    However, Ive started to have trouble getting it too, so perhaps it's on the way out....

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Cheers Singer, we all have our different approaches, I've learned so much about finishing on here in the past from the knowledgeable here, the fun thing is taking the best ideas and combining them.

    The finish carries on going steadily darker with time, each subsequent re oil, coupled with ongoing oxidisation.

    This thread has me thinking about experimenting with making my own stains this weekend.....

    The finish has that "experienced" look i prefer rather than the "brand new" look. Of course, if you have a brand new NO. 4 then you are one of the lucky ones!!
